Mission:
Inspire and equip children and families to excel today, and soar tomorrow.

Vision:
Washita Valley Community Action Council Head Start's vision is to provide a premier early childhood program with highly qualified staff incorporating excellence in teaching and technology to ensure that our families and children are positioned, ready and capable to embrace the opportunities of the future.

Philosophy:
Washita Valley CAC Head Start’s philosophy is that parents are the child’s first and most important teacher.

Parents are provided the opportunity for individual and family goal setting, and to participate in all areas of the program.

We maintain that when children have adequate nutrition, are immunized, receive appropriate educational and social support, and have learning problems identified and remedied early, they have far greater success in school and in life.

Our goal is to assist children in building self confidence and competence needed to become lifelong learners.
